Much of Pellicano’s early work was locating missing people — one newspaper report said he had found nearly 4,000 missing people.
Pellicano says he was mentored by Lt Col Allan D Bell, a military intelligence expert who Pellicano said was “closer to me than my own father . . . and more of a father to me”.
Pellicano helped reinvestigate JFK’s killing and Richard Nixon’s Watergate tapes. It is thought he was hired during Bill Clinton’s first White House run to discredit Gennifer Flowers, who claimed to have had an affair with Clinton.
Later, according to the New York Post, Pellicano was hired to investigate Monica Lewinsky.
There were rumours Pellicano was the private eye tracking OJ Simpson’s wife Nicole before her murder — claims fuelled by revelations that bugging devices found in her home were the same as those Pellicano used at Jackson’s Neverland ranch. ÂPellicano denied any involvement.
In 2002, the FBI raided his office, prompted by claims he intimidated reporter Anita Busch, who had written unfavourable stories about Pellicano clients Steven Seagal and Michael Ovitz, the ex-Disney boss.
Busch found a bullet hole in her car, “Stop” scrawled on the windscreen and a dead fish with a rose in its mouth on the vehicle — a notorious Mafia warning.
The man who vandalised the car said he was hired by Pellicano, who denied any involvement. During the raid, the FBI found explosives and ÂŁ150,000 in cash. Pellicano was jailed on weapons charges.
